See how to program a ham radio to the 2 meter call, which is 146.52. Radio uploads everything, and the lights are going crazy as the radio is programmed.
Join me tonight for an interview with the Hamcation Admin about the upcoming 2026 Hamcation

Home-Brew Tree Vertical - Does It Actually Work? (Built from Scrap)
I often say "just run a vertical up a tree and throw some radials down" – but I realised I’d never actually shown it properly.
So in this video, I build a 20m tree-supported vertical entirely from scrap: old wire, abandoned radials, questionable coax, and whatever I could find in the workshop.
No spreadsheets. No perfection. Just get something in the air and test it.
Once it was up, I compared it directly against my main field vertical using a proper A/B WSPR test – same band, same power, same stations, swapping antennas every two minutes.
The result? Doing it "properly" still buys you margin and calmness on receive – but a tree canopy and a simple ground system do not suddenly make HF impossible.
Which is good news. Because it means if all you’ve got is a bit of wire and a tree, you’re not excluded from the game.

Enjoy your radio — and try something for yourself! Callum.
